Contract of Employment

You must give this to new employees within 8 weeks

When employing staff it is very important to get the
employment contract correct to ensure you meet all the
requirements of employment law, but also to ensure you retain
the maximum amount of flexibility for your business.

There are several different possibilities when you employ
staff. You can take them on a permanent
employment contract if you are confident the role is ongoing. If
the job is likely to run out at a certain point, then a
fixed-term
employment contract would be a better option.

If the most important thing is flexibility, then a
zero-hours contract will ensure you only have to pay
for the hours when you need your staff to be there. Finally if
you don't want the hassle of employing staff, then you can take
them on as contractors / freelancers using a contract
for services where they invoice you for work carried
out and you don't need to deal with tax or national insurance
issues.

For all these options there is a free template
below which you can download and adapt for your
business.

**NEW** Our brand new ebook on
"How to Deal With Staff Who Can't or Won't Perform" by Alex Brogan
has now been published and is available now for download.
It comes complete with an online resource pack and access to an email helpdesk.
It outlines how to deal with all performance issues from staff
not being competent to cases of gross misconduct. There is a
small charge for this (£4.99) which will support keeping our other
resources free.

update these templates regularly to reflect changes to
employment law. Please ensure you sign up for our email update service
here or your downloads will go out of date and be inaccurate.

Video Tutorials**NEW** We have undertaken to produce a series of video tutorials to help employers better understand
complex HR issues. The first one on 'How to Issue a Contract of Employment" is now available.

**NEW**
Integrated Employment Contract and Staff Handbook
This is a combined employment contract and staff handbook template which contains
all the information you need to provide to your new
employee. It is fully compliant with employment law and best practice,
covers permanent, fixed-term and zero-hours arrangements and is suitable for
all SME's even if you are only employing one person. There is also a
fully completed example for guidance.

Employment Contract Template
This is a blank contract of employment which you may
download and adapt to your own organisation. Current legislation means that all new employees
are entitled to such a statement within 8 weeks of commencement.

Fixed-Term Employment Contract Template
This is a contract template for fixed-term employees, and allows you to specify whether the fixed-term is dependant on time, completion of a task / project,
the return of an individual (e.g. following maternity leave) or subject to continued funding.

**NEW** Letter
of Appointment template
Once you have interviewed and want to offer the job, you might want to
send a quick letter of appointment. This is how you can quickly offer
the job to ensure the individual has all the details they will need to
accept the offer and hand in their notice in their current job. Although
it does not replace the contract (you will still need this within 8
weeks of their commencement), it is much quicker to produce than the
full contract document.
